Synopsis

Growing Pains (1985), Season 6 — a 1990 ABC family sitcom, 23 episodes, watch online on iFILM. The Seaver household on Long Island is still standing, but this season scatters its members in every direction.

Mike quits college, chases an off-Broadway lead, runs out of money, and ends up sharing an apartment with Carol while she studies at Columbia. The family trip to Europe splinters fast: Maggie is hospitalized in Paris with appendicitis while Mike bickers his way across the continent with a difficult travel companion. Back home, Jason becomes Ben's unlikely business partner in managing a rap group, and little Chrissy acquires an imaginary friend — a six-foot mouse named Ike.

Season 6 plays more like a connected anthology than a single story. Individual episodes stay light and self-contained, which is easy viewing but leaves the season without much forward momentum. Stream Growing Pains Season 6 online on iFILM.
